SOUNDBITE (English): BOLA TINUBU, Nigerian President
"Nigeria cannot become a productive and industrialized economy, we cannot tackle poverty or create thousands of high-paying manufacturing jobs unless we can generate, transmit and distribute reliable electricity."
   
The GIPP, a combined cycle power plant with auxiliaries, is to be implemented in phases, with the first phase of 350 MW to be completed in three years.
